ICDD Scholarships

To encourage promising graduate students to pursue crystallographically-oriented research, the International Centre for Diffraction Data has established a Crystallography Scholarship Fund.

The applicant should be a graduate student seeking a degree with a major interest in crystallography e.g. crystal structure analysis, crystal morphology, modulated structures. correlation of atomic structure with physical properties, systematic classification of crystal structures, phase identification and materials characterization. There are no restrictions on country, race, age, or sex. The term of the scholarship is one year. Application for one renewal may be made by the recipient at the end of the first year. Because a limited number of scholarships are awarded, renewal applications will be considered on a competitive basis in conjunction with all applications.

Submit a CV, listing degree(s) held and degree(s) sought, a one-page proposal describing the type of crystallographic research to be partially supported by scholarship, a supportive letter from the sponsoring professor of an accredited university or an institute of technology on institution letterhead.

The scholarship stipend of $2,000 is to be used by the recipient to help defray tuition and lab fees. A portion may be applied to registration fees to accredited scientific meetings related to crystallography; no more than one scholarship will be awarded to applicants at anyone accredited intuition per year; the funds of the scholarship are not to be used for travel.

The scholarships will be administered by a committee consisting of the ICDD Chairman, the Chairman of the ICDD Technical Committee, The Chairman of the ICDD Education Subcommittee, and one or two selected individuals.

Application deadline is Oct. 31, 1997. Send to: Secretary, ICDD, 12 Campus Blvd, Newton Square, PA 19073-3273, USA.
